Our Story
Borne out of a love for travel, good food and luxury interiors, combined with the frustration of not being able to find the standard of accommodation sought in one carefully curated place, Boutique and Breakfast was created to fill this gap. Since our launch in 2011, we have quickly become a leading guide to the finest boutique-style accommodation in the UK and we are now starting to expand our reach into Europe and beyond.
With a profound dislike of the bland and predictable we passionately believe in what we do. We celebrate individuality and quirkiness, creativity and uniqueness. But it is not just about the property and beautiful interiors; it is also about offering our guests the personal touches and service they look for when seeking a more experiential break.
We delight in finding unique properties and have become known for our high standards. By setting a new benchmark for quality, guests return to Boutique and Breakfast time and again as they come to appreciate the standards we have become renowned for.
What we Look for
Specifying what makes a Boutique and Breakfast property can be quite difficult, but we know what we like when we see it. We love beautiful interiors but have no set style; we appreciate interesting architecture in all forms. We seek out personal service and intimacy, which we feel is so important for the experiential guest, and we look for those all important finishing touches that make the boutique experience including:
Ultimately, we take great pleasure in finding properties that are a blend of the above with a fabulous location thrown into the mix! If your boutique accommodation is in keeping with the high standard of properties that you can see on our website, then there is a good chance that it is suitable for Boutique and Breakfast.
What make us different
Boutique and Breakfast strongly believes in quality and not quantity. We do not pretend or want to be like the many websites featuring any size or type of accommodation. Our aim is to build a carefully curated collection of Boutique accommodation that will both excite and delight guests.
By applying our strict selection criteria, we ensure that only the very best properties are included in our portfolio and frequently turn away those that do not make the grade. This ensures that you will never find your property alongside others of an inferior standard and we believe that the high standard of our featured properties is what sets us apart.
